2020-2021

Guidelines, Resources, and Best Practices for the SafeReopening of Vista Schools In COVID-19 Conditions

UPDATED: 4/15/2021

IntroductionA Message from the Superintendent

Each day our school and district staff continues to workbehind the scenes to provide safe and orderly campuses andlearning environments for our students. Our organizationcontinues to place students at the center of our work.

Please reference this School Reopening Plan as a guide to helpyou navigate questions that may arise regarding our programofferings. We know this school year is quite different fromprevious years. We will all need to continue to be patient,flexible, and willing to make adjustments to make this newenvironment work. Thank you for your support.

Here at Vista Unified, we have a dual obligation to ourcommunity. Our first obligation is to ensure the health andsafety of students and staff. Our second obligation is to ensurethat all students have access to a high quality and supportivelearning environment. We know that in order to provide thisaccess, students need to build a relationship with theirteachers and connect with their peers. With these obligationsin mind, our work is framed around the following four actions:

• Prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of all VistaUnified students and staff

• Follow the health and safety guidelines from the California Department of Public Health and the San Diego Health and Human Services

• Ensure all Vista Unified school campuses are safe for students, staff, and the general public

• Promote high quality and engaging learning for students in a safe and healthy environment

As we continue to provide learning models that meet the needsof our school community, the health and safety of our students,staff, and school community is of high importance. As theAfrican proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child”. In thatspirit, we must work together to ensure the followingprocedures are followed so our schools remain safe places oflearning. We are all in this together.

While we know no system is perfect, we are committed tofollowing the guidelines set forth by the California Departmentof Health and Safety as this best ensures the physical safety ofour students and staff. We will make periodic revisions to thisguidebook as we receive updated guidance from the state andcounty health agencies.

Health & Safety Protocols


At the August 13, 2020 Regular Board Meeting, the Vista Unified Board of Education voted unanimouslyin favor of Board Policy 0470, requiring all students to wear a face mask when attending in-person school.

• Face masks are required for all students and staff.

• Face masks must be worn at all times, including before school and after school, PE, and extracurricular activities and may only be removed while eating or drinking water.

• Face masks must cover the nose and mouth.

• Students and staff are not permitted to wear bandanas, single cloth masks, neck gaiters (scarves), or face masks with vents and valves.

• Any student who refuses to wear a face mask will be transferred to Vista Virtual, Vista's distance school option.

Face Masks:

Handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers whensoap and water are not available is the first line of defense in stopping the spread of infection (CDC 2020).

• All students and staff will be trained on proper, effective hand hygiene.

• Classrooms with sinks will be stocked daily with soap and paper towels. For classrooms without sinks, including school offices and public spaces, hand sanitizer will be available.

• Secondary students will wash or sanitize their hands upon entering classrooms, before lunch, and throughout the school day.

• Schools will limit the sharing of supplies

• Visual reminders will be posted on all school campuses and VUSD offices.

Hand Washing:

Maintaining a safe, yet practicable, distance from others is a top priority as students & staff return to in-person learning.

• Students will be instructed to maintain six feet distance from one another when coming onto or leaving campus.

• Directional signs and arrows have been placed around school campuses to assist with one-way traffic flow of students during passing period and before and after school.

• Social distance will be maintained during recess and lunch periods, as practicable.

• Excess furniture in classrooms has been removed to create as much open space for students as possible.

• No visitors will be allowed on campus.
